Welcome to the Wednesday (EBD) edition of SDA Late Nite Radio.
Tonight, under the aegis of SDA’s ongoing Cultural Outreach Program, which was hopelessly designed to further awareness and understanding between disparate communities, we present a Queen’s English translation of a volubly heated freestyle Rap Battle. The debate format is as follows: practitioner Hydrogen asserts his thesis, Boost is given the opportunity to provide his counterargument, and then the floor is opened to questions and comments.
Feel free to flamboast your crunkest Cronkites furilla in the comments.
Oh boy! I am reading for n-time about this Wall Street tax proposed by Pelosi and could not belief my eyes, elephants are flying through revolving doors.
hardboiled
Well said.
Coincidence,maybe,they do happen. I googled Richard Colvin ,that is the guy currently sheeting on our troops and gov’t.Wow,the shoe bomber comes up. Has this man changed his name,or am I just a little paranoid.Anyways even if he hasn’t,he sent out e-mails cc’ed to 77 people,and he was ignored,oh my, that just reeks of spunk covered basement fingers.
yes, well said hardboiled.
And it needs to be said that conservatives dropped their guard on Bush, big time. I presume it was due to 9/11 trauma, but nevertheless, it’s embarrassing how little conservatives had to say about Bush’s LBJ-like spending. And of course, Greenspan adoration nearly drove me nuts.
Which is not to say that I was myself innocent of the charges laid above.
I just finished a second reading of Albert Jay Nock’s Our Enemy, the State. Few books have had such an impact on me. Let me put it this way: my life is now, pre-Nock, post-Nock. You can never be a conventional political partisan after reading this book.
Pursuant to my above post. This man e-mailed his letters to 77 people. Now, I am a skeptic and not known to embrace conspiracy theories or start them,but the London bombings were on 7/7.Coincidence?…….. Watch for a suicide that will enhance my theory. It may be happening as I type.
Liberal McKenna says PM Harper and his government are “thugs”.
Quote Source link below*.
McKenna speaks: Quote:
“*As for the sort of adversaries the Liberals are up against in Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s tacticians, McKenna added, “They are dealing with thugs;”.
How low can Iffy and his Liberals go?
McKenna does not have Parliamentary immunity in re these words of his.
Is this criminal slander?
Slander defined:
“slander n. Law . Oral communication of false statements injurious to a person’s reputation. A false and malicious statement or report about someone.”

I hope so.
RE: ““*As for the sort of adversaries the Liberals are up against in Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s tacticians, McKenna added, “They are dealing with thugs;”.”
He is calling the tatisticians thugs — interestingly not specifically the politicians. I think slander does not apply here since no names are mentioned. This is hyperbole on McKenna’s part — nothing to get too excited about.
In response to curious_george:
Re: “cut regulation to the bone and there will be increased employment cleaning up after plane crashes, building collapses, contamination in the food supply etc etc.”
Do you really think so? Do you think the pilots will fly their planes into the ground while chuckling about the lack of regulation preventing them from doing so? Do you think a contractor will put up an unsafe building and expect to stay in business for much longer? Don’t be silly. Plus they can be charged with negligence or whatever if they don’t do things properly and people suffer as a result. Then there’s the issue of corruption among the regulators.
Re: “are you advocating a return to the beginning of the industrial age when all those youngsters in britain were fully employed at tuppence a day?”
Of course not. But a society can avoid child labour when adults are productive enough that it doesn’t need it. If we have too many regulators and not enough producers, kids will be forced to go back to work, guaranteed. It’s bad enough that many families need both parents working now, which they didn’t a few decades ago. Wait until it gets worse.
Re: “‘trickle down’ economics”
“Trickle down” is an anti-concept, it is not a valid way of looking at the economy. An economy is based on production and voluntary trade of valuable items for mutual benefit. People take out what they put in.
